Train Services
On Sundays and Bank Holiday Mondays from April till late October the volunteers operate a train service between Middle Engine Lane (Museum) and Percy Main Village, a round trip of around 4 miles. Volunteer duties include: Steam Engine Driver, Locomotive Cleaner, Guard & Operations Controller. The trains are usually hauled by a steam locomotive however a diesel replacement may be required at times. The railway often hosts popular special events such as a Halloween Special, a 1940s day and Santa Specials.

Famous quotes containing the words train and/or services:
“... there isn’t a train I wouldn’t take,
No matter where it’s going.”
—Edna St. Vincent Millay (1892–1950)
“It seems I impregnated Marge
So I do rather feel, by and large,
Some cash should be tendered
For services rendered,
But I can’t quite decide what to charge.”
